COMMENT

The  subject’s  operating  performance  in  2009  was  stagnant  with  a  drastic  decrease  in  both  sales  sale  and  net  profit  comparing  to the  same  period  of  2008. This  was  not  only  due  to  a  slow  growth  of  related  industries  but  also  an  intensified  competition  in  both  local  and overseas  markets.

 

In  order  to  increase  and  maintain   its  business’s  profit  margin,  the  subject  has  cut  costs  and expanded  its  business  aggressively  of  both  local  and overseas  markets  to ensure  the  company  as  a  key  global  player  in  the  industry.   Generally,  the  subject’s  business  is still promising.
